Explanation:

Roadways are banked on curves so that the wear and tear of tyre may be avoided.
If the road is banked, so that the outer edge is above the inner edge, then a portion of the normal force from the road on the tires points towards the center of the track; this fraction of the normal force can provide enough centripetal force to keep the car moving in a circle.
